Royal Icing
3-3/4 cups confectioners (powdered) sugar
3 Tablespoons meringue powder (can buy at Michael's)
6 Tablespoons warm water
Beat 4-5 minutes until smooth.
If you want it thicker (to outline) add a little more sugar. If you need it thinner (flow consistiency) to "fill in" add a little bit more water. (Trial and error.) Leigh puts her icing in separate bowls and add food coloring. (Leigh uses AmeriColor and Wilton gel.)
After you outline the borders, allow them to dry 15 minutes, then you can fill them in. Leigh uses icing bags. Let them dry an hour before adding any details. After they are completely dry, they can be stacked and packaged.
